I have now identified 6 children for my 3x great grandparents William Cracket and Isabel (Isabella). Places in Northumberland for their baptism and birth include Lowick, Kyloe and Rock. Since one of the children has the middle name Gowans this gives a possible lead to follow in tracing Isabel. More information can be found on my Crackett / Cracket page.

(This is the catch-up post for Friday 13th April when I missed my postaday. I am not caught up for all the days I missed due to the Easter period and hope to keep up the tempo of posting daily from now on.)

I believe I have found a Lowick baptismal record for my great great grandfather William Cracket indicating that he was born in Kyloe in 1812 to William Cracket and Isabel, making them my 3x great grandparents. Both were born in the 1790s, William in Lowick and Isabel/Isabella in nearby Holburn. Take a look at my Crackett/Cracket page if you want to see more about how I arrived at this conclusion.

My initial step in trying to find vital records for William Cracket born in Kyloe, Northumberland between 1807 and 1814 was to track him through the census. I found him at 4 different locations, all mining communities, in each census from 1841 to 1871. To find out more about William’s migration through the mining areas of Northumberland and see how his family grew take a look at my Crackett/Cracket page.
